My advice is that …
As you said , your son refuses to do everything you ask him to do. My advice is that you’d better not force him to do anything that he doesn’t like. If you really want him to do something, you must tell him the importance and necessity of doing that at a proper time. He himself will decide whether to do it or not since he is a boy now and he has his own idea. I’m sure it ’ll work out fine if you can try understanding him. I’d like to suggest that you should trust him and always communicate with him.
